If You Find a Water Bottle on Your Car, Go to a Police Station

Danger might await you anywhere, so you'd better be prepared for anything! Here are some easy but very important tips on how to recognize the red flags and know what to do when you see them. If you find a shirt wrapped around one of your windshield wipers in the supermarket parking lot, get into your car as quickly as possible and drive away. Find a well-lit spot and only then stop and toss the shirt out. It's just one out of many new tricks criminals use these days.

If you go out to your car and find anything suspicious on the car. Go back into where you were without pause. Get security, or call the police to walk you to your car and investigate. If you have a remote that sets off the alarm and flashes the lights, go inside and set the alarm off a couple of times. Bad guys don’t like a lot of noise and lights.

Say you live with another friend/family member/partner in a house. In some occasions, thieves could use any kind of spray paint, or something, and mark any part of your house as "IM IF" (depends on how many people live inside a house.)
This means that IM means there is 1 make and the IF means there is one female. If you see this, call the police immediately, because whoever wrote that is planning to break into your house, or do something next-level.

This is ridiculous. Just imagine, you find a water bottle on your car, so you go to the police station and ask them to search for a tracker on your car. Do you think they would actually do it, or tell you to leave because you're wasting their time?

If there’s a bottle of water on your car but it’s not yours, it’s a sign that someone else forget it

THERE WAS A WATER BOTTLE ON MY
"Really"

Along with the tow trucks showing up be careful about private ambulance companys. My nephew took a bad fall at a gym. An ambulance was called. The first to show up was a private ambulance. My nephew refused. He knew his insurance wouldn't cover the larger cost.

Such a shame that we have to deal with things like this. I know someone who sees things on the news and warns me. I pray that she doesn't worry so much that it makes it too difficult for her to do normal things.

It never fails to amaze me how low some scumbags will stoop to avoid working and living above board to have things.

I bought something online, just ONE THING, and the next thing I know some dude hacks my bank account and tries to charge me $200-something on a site I’ve never heard of. My account then gets blocked, forcing me to get a new debit card. Don’t let this happen to you. Check to see if a website is secure before putting in any payment info!

What does a bottle has to do with GPS tracking?
It alerts the owner more than the tracker device itself

If someone comes to you with a mobile phone and asks you if this is your phone, don't take it.

There is one situation that a woman was stopped by a man, the man asked the woman if the phone was hers, she said yes and took it.

After she walked for a few more minutes, three men came over and asked her if she had their phone.

She said that she didn't have their phone, but the three men demanded to call the number first.

After they called the number, the phone that the woman took from the man who gave it to her beforehand rang.

The three men accused her of stealing, then they demanded her to hand over a certain amount of cash, or else she will have to go to the police station with them.

Once the woman handed over the cash, the three men would split the cash among them.

Therefore, if anyone stops you when you are walking along the street, took out a mobile phone and asked you if it was yours, run away from them. This way, you won't get scammed.

I don't answer my phone if I don't recognize the caller's number.

Traffickers will also put a, usually small black zip tie on the rear door handle or other "sticker" or streak on your car to tag that you've been pre'vetted as a potential target. Do a walk-around check your car.

This is just giving potential criminals ideas.

If your gonna put a tracking device on someone’s car why would you warn them with a water bottle? I guess I’m just smarter than the ave bear.

A water bottle or shirt being left for me? Best believe I would find myself drinking it after getting it tested to see if the water was spiked with hard drugs or sizing the shirt to make sure it fits after washing any itching powder off of it. However, I would immediately get the envelope tested for anthrax before even thinking about opening it up.

If I find a water bottle on my car, I'm going to pull out my bazooka while calling in the National Guard.

I was a cab drive in the 90s. We had flat rates to certain places. They were always cheaper than if we ran the meter.

If you see an engine in your car, don’t drive it!
